Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by preparing the avocados. Cut each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh from the skin using a spoon. Cube the avocados and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
Peel the cucumber, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Dice the cucumber and add it to the bowl.
Finely dice a quarter of a small red onion and add to the salad mixture. This will add a bit of bite and color to the salad.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the salad. It adds freshness and a pop of color.
In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, fresh lime juice, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk or shake well to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together until all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning as needed, avoiding salt to keep it low sodium.
Serve the salad fresh, either as a standalone dish or as a side. Enjoy the creamy texture of the avocado against the crunchy vegetables!
